Moz aims to work with designers firsthand to show them the product's versatility. "We try to work with designers, architects and builders at the earliest stage possible. From the day they first call, and throughout the design process we go out of our way to work with their budget so we can help to balance design with intent — we want to make sure they have all the informa- tion about our product and its installation so the project comes out as close to their original vision as possible," she notes.

"Once we worked specifically for the 'Wow' factor in spaces like casi- nos, cruise ships and other interiors where splashy, bold colors were desired. The Neutrals Collection balances our offerings and has opened us up to more institutional applica- tions," says Linda Gutierrez, sales manager at Oakland, Calif.-based Moz. "[The new shades] offer a versatile design complement in all spaces, including homes, hotels, restaurants, spas, retail centers and other settings where decorative laminate would generally be installed."

The company also touts the high recycled content in its alu- minum products — recycled content comprises 85 percent of the finished aluminum sheet, 60 percent of which is post-consumer. The product is 100 percent recyclable at the end of its life cycle, and is finished with low-VOC paints and eco-solvents. The Neutrals Collection can add a touch of elegant understatement to any space, in a range of applications including wall coverings, column covers, bar dies, elevator walls, and can be used as room dividers or railing infill panels. True to its name, the palette is a range of neu- tral tones including champagne, oyster, khaki, graphite, cream and pewter. "Because our product is a lightweight, easy- to-cut, solid core product, it is limited only by a designer's vision," explains Gutierrez. "In addi- tion to solid sheets, we also offer our aluminum product perforated, corrugated and wainscoted." r e si d e n t ia l d e si gn + b u i l d — one-stop information hub is the company website.
